Four people have been injured after coming face to face with grizzly bears in
two separate attacks in and around Yellowstone National Park.

The first incident involved a mother bear who stumbled into the path of two
hikers while with her young cub on a trail near Canyon Village in the
north-central section of the park, officials said.

The hikers, who have not been named, managed to survive by using bear spray
and then dropping to the ground and playing dead. “[This] is what we advise
hikers to do when they find themselves in that type of situation,” Al Nash,
